The Rival | |
| The Nevernight Chronicle / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: Jess in Nevernight and Furian in Godsgrave. Hush is always the most notable of Blades on their tail, in part due to his familiarity with Mia (and the audience), in part because he's effective. Of the Ministry, no more venom is mutually shared than between Mia and Solis. That he killed Mia's parents ensured the final outcome | |

Offing the Offspring: Consul Scaeva ordered Mia's death at Age 10 despite knowing that she's actually his daughter According to scripture, Aa bade Niah to never bear him sons and when she violated his commandment, he slew the son and cast Niah down from the heavens. | |

| The Nevernight Chronicle / int_36c94bed | comment |
Person of Mass Destruction: Mia during Truedark when her powers are at their peak. During the one while she was 14, she destroyed the Philosopher's Stone and attacked the Grand Bascilla, killing many - possibly hundreds - and was stopped only by Aa's holy symbols. During the next Truedark, Mia and Scaeva become such powerful beings that their battle demolishes all of Godsgrave | |

Deceased Parents Are the Best: Deconstructed. Mia worships her parents and seeks revenge for them. Befriending a man who knew them while they lived shatters her illusions by showing all the things she worshiped them for had a dark side. This eventually batters her resolve on her original mission until she's given brand new reasons to finish the job | |

Antagonistic Offspring: Above all else, Leona wants to beat her father #1 on Mia's list of people who need to die is actually her father Aa's stated reason for not wishing Niah to bear him a son. Ultimately a self-fulfilled prophecy Tsana, eldest daughter of Niah, despises her mother and made the hearth to prevent the souls of the dead from falling into her mother's abyss. Niah, for her part, gifted the Goddess of Fire unquenchable thirst. Tric's target is his maternal grandfather. Mia kills him after Tric's death As Mia's ultimate destiny becomes clear, the Goddesses of Fire, Storms and Seas do their utmost to assail Mia at every turn due in part to the risk that Mia might free their mother | |

Master Poisoner | |
| The Nevernight Chronicle / int_ac69035c | comment |
Master Poisoner: Mia's specialty as an assassin. Her skillset extends to the ability to diagnose poisons administered to her or those around her, as well as to cures or medicinal alternatives Spiderkiller who trained Mia. She even leaves Mia a present for conquering the Red Church - ultimately gifted to Ashlinn - and then callously ensures that the various options for the antidote are all empty Carlotta was Mia's chief (friendly) rival in this field during training | |

You Owe Me: Mia collects a few debts in her travels Teardrinker owes Mia for saving her and her cargo at the start of Godsgrave. Mia even quotes the trope. It's repaid by purchasing the freedom of the Remus Falcons Aside from Kinship, the Remus Falcons point to this as their reason for joining Mia Cloud Corleone feels this for Mia due to Mia killing Cardinal Duomo | |

Abusive Parents | |
| The Nevernight Chronicle / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Tric's grandfather congratulated him completing his trials of manhood by mutilating him and then hanging him outside to rot and be scorned. Leona's father continuously attempts to destroy Leona. Yeah, remember that guy who ordered Mia to be drowned at the age of 10? Turns out he's Mia's father Anais was murdered by his father and cast down, head severed to destroy his disciples, his corpse used to be the foundation of a new Empire venerating said father. | |

Berserk Button: One minute, Sidonius is lamenting the death of Ailenne Corvere, calling her a "stupid fucking whore". Next moment, a girl half his size is beating the snot out of him for insulting her mother. This button also bites Jonnen She also does not take well to being called "girl" Adonai does not take well to those who harm his sister. Go ahead, call Tric "koffi" (translation: child of rape) | |

Iron Lady: Ailenne Corvere. One of the most powerful people in Godsgrave. Don't scheme behind Grandma Drusilla's back. She'll send 200 hands to scour an unnavigable library for a single book, rip the ears off your sister to ensure your compliance, or convince your father to order your death | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Mia's objective. The destruction of the Philosopher's Stone and the Truedark Massacre were Mia's reaction to losing her mother Mia didn't accept the invasion of the Red Church lightly and chased down the fleeing wagon train. Here's an idea: we have a girl so dangerous we send every single sword we have after her and we keep her mentor as our prisoner. Mia's anger is only diverted slightly when she's told who actually completed the murder of her parents | |

Sink or Swim Mentor | |
| The Nevernight Chronicle / int_e062bcc4 | comment |
Sink or Swim Mentor: Spiderkiller's first lesson is to poison everyone's morning meal and see if one of them can figure out the antidote and her end-of-year challenge is to determine an antidote to a poison - with the stipulation that they must prove it works by testing it on themselves. Mercurio also set up a few of these puzzles, though his were grounded more on what he knew Mia to be capable of. | |

Light Is Not Good | |
| The Nevernight Chronicle / int_e543a655 | comment |
Light Is Not Good: At least to Mia's perspective. Aa, the God of Light, stands opposed to the patron Goddess of darkin. Holy relics of Aa are blinding to all darkin and Mia feels burning hatred in their glare. When all three suns are up, Mia's powers are at their weakest and when all three are set, her powers are at their strongest. Strong shadows like the clouds of a powerful storm can also create sufficient darkness for Mia to act. | |

Spotting the Thread: Leona realizes that Mia's combat style had changed... which leads to her realization that Mia wasn't stabbing with her dagger... which leads to her realization that the dagger wasn't the one she'd given to Mia... which leads her to suspect the executions were faked. It was not enough to prevent Mia's plans, though. | |

Running Gag: Throughout Darkdawn, people on Corleone’s ship keep calling out to him to report what’s happening in the distance, leading him to complain than he has a perfectly functional spyglass and is well aware of what’s happening. Even a battle between gods laying waste to the city they’re docked at doesn’t stop the banter. | |
